I found this interesting.

Happy New Year

This weekend is Songkran, the Thai Water Festival and New Year. Thai people get together with family and friends during Songkran, engaging in water fights and other traditions.

I was in Thailand for Songkran last year, so it's been about a year since I studied Thai at AUA. My short time there really changed my understanding of language study.

Here in Seattle, it's a little too cold for a water fight, but Happy New Year anyway!
